11 May 2010

Tremaine Kent MD of CTR Services Running the 4Deserts

The 4 deserts challenge (www.4deserts.com) The 4 Deserts is a series of four six-stage, seven-day-long rough country footraces across some of the most inhospitable deserts on Earth. Participants must carry all the food and equipment they need to live on for the seven-day event. Only a space in a tent, drinking water and a camp fire are provided (and access to a medical team). Each race is 250km long with the final race being The Last Desert, held in Antarctica. To qualify for the last race, one must have successfully completed 2 of the other 3 races.

The races are purported to take place in the hottest, coldest, windiest and driest places on earth. In 2008, TIME magazine designated the 4 Deserts Series as 2nd in it’s top 10 list of endurance competitions.

Tremaine Kent will become the first Britain and the third person to ever complete all 4 deserts within the year. The 4 Deserts challenge starts for Tremaine on the 7th March 2010 with the Atacama in Chile, then 27th June 2010 with the Gobi in China, then on the 3rd October 2010 the Sahara in Egypt and finally on the 17th November 2010 Antarctica. During each race Tremaine will mark certain parts of his body with the sponsor’s logo and at the end of each race Tremaine will cross the finish line with a large flag with the sponsors details in clear view.
